Limits of Military Intervention
Abstract
The threatened and actual use of force in international relations has traditionally operated under real and self imposed limitations. With the advent of nuclear weapons, it becomes even more important to analyze the limitations which condition the scope and pattern of military intervention. It is the purpose of this study to apply and interdisciplinary social science frame of reference to the limits and potentials of military intervention by the United States. The approach was to conduct research symposia which brought together social scientists and military specialists. The end product was the development of an interrelated series of analytic studies which emphasized hypotheses concerning the changing role of force and military intervention in international relations. These studies highlight the increased limitations on the use of military intervention; however, to assert the increased limitations on the use of force is hardly to deny its crucial and fundamental role in the contemporary world community.
